Description
In the composition, it is possible to admire a Solar analemma over the magnificent megalithic site of Callanish, almost 5000 years old! To walk amidst the monoliths placed on the ground according to a specific design, probably dedicated to the Moon and her phases almost manage to transport the traveler back in time, when the first civilizations colonized these islands on the edge of the Atlantic!
This strange figure, with a shape of an 8 or an infinite, the analemma, is caused by the axial tilt of our planet, and by the elliptical shape of our orbit around the Sun. All this, framed in a breathtaking ancient landscape, as old as the men and women which under the same Sun built this magnificent lunar observatory!
